import std.stdio;
void main() {
    std.stdio.writefn(1);
    writefln(2); // (A)
}

This program has to raise a compilation error at the line (A), because this
line:
import std.stdio;
Has to import only the 'std.stdio' name in the current namespace.

To import (discouraged practice) all names from a module a specific syntax may
be invented, like:

import std.stdio.*;
void main() {
    writefln(1);
    std.stdio.writefn(2); // (B)
}

That imports all the names but not the module name itself, so the line (B) has
to raise an error.
